Description of the problem | My 1995 windstar overheated and anti-freeze blew out to the tail pipe like a big cumulus cloud. My wife and kid got so frighten. I found out later that the 1995 windstars have a history of failure in head gasket. I am writing this because i want to help other windstars owner in the future when they are in the same problem. Nhtsa should demand a recall on the 1995 windstar and ford should covered this part to 100,000 miles on this vehicle. *ak |
